It looks like a great project. Hsien,

I remember now why I have good reason to believe the test was accurate: My 17 and 29 CAG counts matched with one of my mom's, the 17. I did not inherit her 41, so must have got the 29 from my dad. Since we knew my mom's CAG count, and knew one of mine had to match one of hers, it makes sense that the test was accurate, at least in that one gene. I just wish we'd had my grandmother tested. She had a "mild" case of HD, in fact she lived to be 80. I suspect my mom's gene may have been a mutation. But we'll never know now. It's just survivor's guilt that makes me wonder about things like mistakes in genetics tests! That was interesting reading; thanks for posting.
